JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail? Clinton: Be there for whoever you know in jail, but also
carry on with your life. The only thing that
people have on the inside is time with their
thoughts. Its going to cause them more stress
on the inside if loved ones aren't ok on the
outside. Brooke: That you can easily pick up a disease there. Easily.
It is scary and dirty and ugly and nothing is worth
spending your time there. Nothing at all. I would
rather die than live my life there.
JM: If somebody knows they will be serving time in this jail what is your advice to them? Clinton: Just what I said earlier, just have common sense
and have some etiquette and overall you should
be fine. It is a terrible jail compared to
other jails. Its going to suck but just tough
through it. Brooke: Take white long johns because it is cold. Have
money on commissary ready because you dont want to
have to use that soap. Wash everywhere you go..if
you can keep a rag with you. WIPE the phone down
before you use it. It has been known for people to
tag you when sleeping..they stick their finger in
their vagina and then into your mouth when you are
sleeping.
JM: Please list any other jail or rehab facilities you have been to. Clinton: CPI- Rehab
Pontiac- Private Rehab
Quarantine for Department of Corrections
Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson
SAI Brooke: Community mental health and Ingahm county youth
center.
